A major resource for Texas history, this has links to original documents and great little know information. Done by people who eat sleep and breathe Texas History. ~Jube

All 50 states with lots of information

Texas Official Website

One of the First Sites for Texas Teachers, the Armadillo has not been updated, but still has great information.

There are four Texas sites, under Country Profiles--US: ~Eva

The Internet Public Library KidsSpace has this on Texas.

Here's one someone sent out that has TONS of info on Texas; it's called the "Handbook of Texas Online" and is a "multidisciplinary encyclopedia of Texas." ~Shirley (This is often referred to on the teacher lists I'm on~ Jube)

The Spanish Explorers materials ~Don  This has original papers, great references to books for your children to enjoy.  It's not in a normal format, so it will take a bit of digging, and you need 2 windows open, one to this site, and one to Amazon ;-) ~Jube

Educational Resouces from The Alamo, be sure to get their newsletter.  *I got wonderful materials while at the Alamo and then later started receiving their newsletter. It contains copies of primary documents, articles about history, news about Alamo events, etc.~Melanie

About.com's Homeschool Guide just did a study for all 50 states.  Here is their Texas Page.~Jube

Vikings in Texas, who knew?

Another cool site called Texas Beyond History has a kids page and a teachers area.

The Texas State Library and Archives has a great site, but it's best left to high schoolers
since there are so many original documents on this site.

If you want a quiz, the official Texas Quiz is archived here.

For Information on the Alabama Coushatta Indians of Texas

The Cowboy Museum may be in Okalahoma City, but their site is great for the little ones. From songs, stories, printables and other great stuff, this site will work wondering on one of your slow days.  Lots of animation and games.~Jube

"Remember Texas" Booklet Highlights Historic Sites is in PDF format that you download and then print.  
Great book to stick in your glove box

March 2, 1836 is Texas Independence Day and this site has all the information you could use about it.

The State Library and Archives also has a genealogy section for researching YOUR Texas Roots.  By finding people in your family who were around when historical events took place, you help bring history into your child's personal story.   Great impact.

But if it's a beautiful day outside, consider doing a Fort Tour of the many forts in Texas.

Just found this new site which is from a non profit organization call the Lone Star Junction, hope you like it.

Happy Texas Trails to You!
